      Let's chat about what games we're playing this week.

      Did anyone manage to get a Switch?

        I'm still on "KLAX" :-)....

        ...and searching for a game out of Rays 128GB Image I played once and could not find again..also forgot on which emulator/system I played it..

        It was a weird sidecrolling shoot'em up and I only remember two of the enemy formations trying to kill me:

        Groups of flying pigs and the other group where girls with hair covered with foam, sitting in flying bathtubes.. (No. I do not smoking funny plants and I am currently at full mental health..... or near by..).

          @SutterKane That almost sounds like something that would be Parodius.

              Thanks, Parodius was my first guess as well....but No, it was game even more weird (if possible) and the title of the game was shown in chinese characters in Retropies attrac mode ... *sighhh If I could only remember what the first boss-enemy has been looking like .....it was something completely strange.... thats the disadvantage if you are gaming since 1984...the first memory cells are going to be erased (ore overwritten?) meanwhile... ;-)

                @ space cadet: On wich system / emulator you are playing Shadowgate (if not Shadowgate64)?

                          When I finish messing around looking for parts, and tweeking options, and looking at composing a video boot screen...

                          The first games I always 'Go To' on Mame...Crime Fighters and Konamis Main Event, me and friends would sneak into the local 'Holiday Camp' and spend hours in the arcades on them.

                          Then the reason for returning back to school after lunch late, Sensible World of Soccer.

                            You just described "Sexy Parodious" to a tee.

                              Super Mario World (Super Famicom) - I still haven't found everything yet. I have to think I used a strategy guide when I did as a kid.

                              Castlevania (NES) - This game is kicking my butt

                              Jack Bros. (Virtual Boy) - Virtual Boy had a pretty small catalog, but this is one of the best on the system.

                              Palamedes (NES) - After seeing this on James & Mike Mondays I had to give it a try and it's a lot of fun.

                              Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams (Neo Geo Pocket Color) - Like all the Cotton games, this shooter is well done, even if the graphics are limited by the platform

                              Nightmare in the Dark (Neo Geo) - I just found out about this game on another thread and it's addictive!

                                I finally found it ! It is a "kind of" Parodius, named somee chinese characters-"Sexy Parodius".

                                I made a screenshot of the name:

                                0_1488959461465_IMG_4648.JPG

                                ...and the first boss-enemy is a giant corncob....

                                rgds,
                                SK

                                      Final Doom (lr-pcsx-rearmed)
                                      still :) i'm on the 2nd of 3 campaigns, now - TNT: Evilution. some cool ideas in this. the 'wormhole' level was really clever, with 2 alternate versions of the level connected by a teleport.

                                      Final Fantasy VIII (lr-pcsx-rearmed)
                                      i think it's a bit optimistic me starting this with persona 5 around the corner, but the heart wants what the heart wants :) enjoying figuring out the junction system all over again.

                                      Overwatch (PS4)
                                      so many other games sat unplayed because all i do on my ps4 is play this! zarya main now... sometimes.

                                        Yesterday I played Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands (PC) for like 5 hours. I really enjoyed the Open Beta so I had to get it and I haven't been disappointed!
